Fitness Junkie?

Dear Bloggers, I have come to the realization that I am becoming a fitness junkie. I have gotten to a point to where if I don't work out my day is thrown off. I have not reached the strict diet and healthy eating stage yet though... thank God! Don't get me wrong I like being in shape, being healthy and staying active. In fact I would like to encourage any of you guys and girls out there to do so too, I mean it is the healthy thing to do. It is just I do not want that to run my life or become my identifier. I know most of you out there are going to read this and think why not just stop going to work out. Well its not that simple, I am not addicted to it or anything but the thing is up until college I was a sports guy and a part of me won't let go, so I believe that working out keeps me connected to being an athlete again. Maybe I am blowing all of this out of proportion or maybe not but I think it would be good to hear some of your takes on this situation. I am looking forward and open to any advice given or diagnoses declared... let me have em.
